    How You Can Better Listen To Your Heart to Improve Your Emotional Wellbeing with Guy Lawrence

    How You Can Better Listen To Your Heart to Improve Your Emotional Wellbeing with Guy Lawrence

    Humans are built to be resistant to negativity.
    That’s our brain’s coping mechanism. It’s psychology. It’s science.
    Whatever you’re feeling right now can directly affect your overall health and wellbeing.
    Sometimes, the situation that we find ourselves in can be difficult to accept.
    Other times, we just let these negative thoughts and emotions take over our lives.
    It’s just a matter of how we deal with these thoughts and how we surrender to them.
    If you find yourself fighting against negative thoughts, trying to bust yourself out of your negative situation, resisting change, and resisting fate, then this podcast is just perfect for you as it will help you embrace, accept, and play around with your situation to better your emotional wellbeing.
    In today’s episode on Emotional Wellbeing, we talk about:
    Listen To Your Heart To Find Your Purpose Acceptance Can Help You Learn and Grow Resistance is Hardwired Into Our Heart And Brain Internal Awareness Paves The Way To Acceptance Heart Rate Variability Helps Improve Emotional Wellbeing Having A Sense Of Commitment Practices Mindfulness Finding The Harmony Within You Makes You Live In The Flow Don’t Expect Instant Gratification Focus and Inner Awareness Helps Shift Pain and Anxiety Leading To A Better Emotional Wellbeing Playfulness Gives You The Freedom To Let Go Of Negativity Collaborative Meditation Enhances The Experience Have you ever felt like you are in some kind of emotional turmoil and just can't seem to get out of your negative situation?
    Feeling those negative emotions is normal.
    Being frustrated, angry, or agitated is normal.
    You can dwell on those emotions and beat yourself up everyday.
    Or, you can just leave those emotions behind and start accepting your situation, focusing on the positive, and accepting that growth takes time.
    For you to move on, the first step is always acceptance.
    Acceptance is a key factor in improving your emotional wellbeing.
    Resistance is natural. It's your brain's coping mechanism.
    Once it starts thinking that you are going deeper and deeper into a situation that can bring harm to you, it automatically switches on the alarm bell, telling you to turn back and run away.
    But running away can only cause your negative emotions to grow bigger and bigger.
    What once was a grain of sand or a raisin snowballed and ultimately turned into an avalanche. 
    However, by working your way around resistance, you'll know that accepting and playing around it can help you cope better with it.
    Minimal stresses and activities can get you back on track and improve awareness.
    You might think practicing mindfulness and awareness takes a lot of effort.
    However, anything that is done repetitively and consistently can have great effects on yourself. 
    Simple exercises such as walking a flight of stairs while counting the steps…
    Or closing your eyes and focusing on one thing that's around you can already help you practice mindfulness and awareness.
    Then, you can start looking inside you, meditate, and start listening to your heart, picking up your problems one by one, and solving them.
    Mindfulness and collaborative meditation enhance the experience and overall effect.
    There is something in social connections that urges you to do things.
    You can meditate on your own.
    But once you start doing it with other people, the experience gets amplified and the learning process is quicker.
    Science indicates that meditation can improve your quality of life.
    Imagine if you do it with more people.
    Sometimes, you just have to realize that there are things that you can and cannot control.
    And it is up to you how you want to handle it. 
    Stop acting against those negative emotions and start looking inside you.
    Meditate and pay attention to what your heart is telling you.
    Only then can you move on and start living a better life.

    Improve Your Healthspan: How Your Genes Affect Your Health with Dr Denise Furness

    Improve Your Healthspan: How Your Genes Affect Your Health with Dr Denise Furness

    Finding out your genes increase your risk for a disease can be quite scary.
    It almost sounds like your fate, your health is dictated by your genetic makeup.
    But your genes don’t have to be a life sentence.
    You don’t have to accept that fate...well, not yet.
    What if I told you that you can still change the course of your health?
    That you can fight against and lower your risk for...
    Neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s Disease or Dementia.
    Or that a gene could be the reason you’re finding it hard to lose weight.
    Are your genes truly your destiny?
    Well, I believe that you can still rewrite your ‘health’ destiny and weave something more beautiful.
    Something that doesn’t restrict or limit the quality of your life.
    Something that lets you scream out at the top of your lungs...
    Yes, I can fight this! My genes are not in control, I am!
    Because that is what we all need to become.
    We all have to become empowered health warriors.
    Armed with the knowledge about our risk factors and motivated to make the necessary changes.
    Lifestyle changes are powerful because our health isn’t completely based on our genes.
    A personalised lifestyle plan and genes both affect your lifespan.
    A proper diet and nutrition.
    Exercise, movement, and physical activity.
    Getting enough sleep.
    All of these including a whole host of other factors have an impact.
    Genes are still important.
    They play an important role in our lives, but we don’t understand them fully.
    Despite what we already know, there are still common misconceptions about genes.
    For those of you who have done genetic testing, what were your results like?
    Does seeing those red, green, and yellow results give you a better understanding?
    Or maybe, it only increased your frustration and confusion.
    It might be that you became more anxious about your health.
    Far from being the empowered individual, you end up being more stressed.
    Stressed about what your future would be.
    Some people are even more susceptible to getting more stressed than they already are.
    Oh, what to do now?
    Build the right team that supports and guides you.
    Look for a functional medicine practitioner.
    Or someone that has training and knowledge in this space.
    There have been more and more practitioners like myself who’ve been interested and working towards improving their knowledge.
    So they can help people like you.
    Now’s not the time to take a backseat. 
    We’re talking about your health here.
    And you are the driver.
    Not your genes, but YOU.
    So strap on your seatbelt and shift the gears. 
    Don’t worry though because I’m here to guide you.
     
    Check out this new episode as we go over:
    The common misunderstandings surrounding genes and epigenetics How nutrition and environment have an impact on your genes Dr. Denise’ own risk and the applications for people in a similar situation What to be mindful of when getting a genetic test The common gene variations associated with neurodegenerative conditions  
    Episode Highlights
    Finding The Genes Affecting Health Common Misconceptions On Genetics And Your Health How Genetic Variations Impact Your Health Understanding Your Genetic Risk Factors Genes Impact On Stress Levels Genes Role With Weight Gain Other Factors To Consider About Your Genes The Biggest Takeaway About How Genes Affect Your Health

    What have I got to do to beat this brain fog? 
    Whether you...
    Experience low mental energy?
    Feel like your living behind glass?
    That lack of clarity.
    The difficulty in focusing.
    Everyone’s experience is different.
    So, if you’re wondering how to bust out of this brain funk-feeling in your head, or you want to help someone who is suffering from these symptoms, then today’s podcast is just for you. 
    In today’s Brain Fog: Symptoms to Treatment episode I address: 
    What Does Brain Fog Feel Like What Are 5 Brain Fog Symptoms 12 Causes of Brain Fog Lack of Sleep Makes A Fuzzy Mind Chronic #Stress And A Tired Brain Hormone Changes Lead To Bad Memory Depression And Brain Fog Food and Nutrition Affects Brain Health Medication Can Make You Fuzzy Neurological Conditions Impact Clarity Poor Gut Health Means Poor Mental Clarity Fatigue Makes You Too Tired To Focus Toxins Are Toxic To Your Brain Alcohol Flooding Your Brain?

    How's your concentration? 
    Pfft! Out the door and into the….uh. What was I thinking again?
    Maybe you find yourself getting lost in a conversation and not in a good way.
    You have to read things over and over.
    How do you turn up in your life and for your family when everything feels like you’re living behind a pane of glass?
    Simple everyday words seem like a struggle. 
    You might be experiencing the cognitive changes people often refer to as “Brain Fog”
    Brain fog isn’t a medical condition.
    But it is an experience lived by people. And it impacts their quality of life.
    There are symptoms, a cluster of symptoms that indicate whether what you’re going through could be brain fog- but that’s not really the area to focus on- more so- what can you do about it.
    The experience though varies from person to person.
    One person’s experience of brain fog could be very different from another.
    It could be very light and minor. 
    Or it could be so severe and significant that it’s already an impairment to your life.
    How you are dealing with memory problems, poor concentration, and lack of mental clarity....
    When it comes to your ability to do things such as drive a car, manage your finances, pursue your hobbies.
    Have fun interactions and make conversations.
    Know this one important thing.
    Brain fog doesn’t have to be a permanent fixture in your life.
    There are tests that you can do.
    There are treatments available.
    You don’t have to live the rest of your life behind that glass pane.
    Life can become clear again!
    So make your move.
    If you know the cluster of symptoms associated with brain fog then you’ll know whether or not you’re experiencing it.
    The next step is to understand what could be causing your brain fog.
    Because when you know what’s causing it then you know what to do next.
    It is often that the causes determine the action.
    Address the things causing your mental fogginess.
    Take charge of your brain health and get clear.
    When your mental focus is taking a dive, that’s the signal for you to dive in as well. 
    Take things into your hands. 
    Attack the causes associated with it. 
    Because that’s what you have to be. You have to stay vigilant and safeguard your cognitive fitness for as long as possible.
    So that you can get control and live your life on your terms.

    That’s right. It’s the Rolling Stones’ lead singer himself, Mick Jagger.
    An enigma of health and vitality, Mick is reaching his eight decade of life.
    It hasn’t stopped him from giving life everything he’s got.

    MHME 018: Memory Loss Test: Why You Should Check Your Risks For Memory Loss [Yearly] with David Norris

    MHME 018: Memory Loss Test: Why You Should Check Your Risks For Memory Loss [Yearly] with David Norris

    A personalised memory loss test should be done every year.
    The sooner you test your risk factors for memory loss, the sooner you can respond.
    When drastic changes are already happening, it becomes harder to correct.
    Do you know someone who’s had a sudden change, almost as if they flipped over..
    You can be caught off guard and surprised.
    Wondering what caused all of this to happen and why did it happen.
    You can pull out all of your hair trying to get to the bottom of it.
    Go to so many doctors. Do so many tests, bloodwork, scans, the works.
    But it’s all just a way to eliminate what it isn’t. 
    Even with all the research and evidence we have, the picture we have is still incomplete.
    Yet, it doesn’t mean we should wait and let things get worse.
    Appreciate the complexity of the mechanism of memory loss then ACT
    Prevention is still best.
    If you’ve listened to my other episodes, you know I’ve talked about how lifestyle choices play a role.
    How you live your life, when it comes to exercising, sleeping, and eating can either harm or help your memory health later.
    You can choose to make positive changes or continue down the path of memory decline.
    Part of proactively choosing health includes identifying your risks.
    If there is a framework that lets you check the areas associated with memory loss as you get older.
    Then you can keep tabs on your memory health.
    You can compare whether there are changes that would later lead to dementia.
    A memory loss test should be done every year.
    Think of it as part of your annual physical. I know, I know.
    But shouldn’t it be?
    You’re probably already used to doing the tests regularly required at work. Why shouldn’t you also include checking your memory health?
    Memory loss is one of the reasons affecting older people’s ability to live a happy life.
    If that’s a future you want to avoid, then a test must be done. 
    Be active and take charge of your memory health.
    Avoiding memory loss is a possibility. All it takes is for you to choose. 
    In today’s show, you will find out the risks for memory loss and get a personalised view on where you stand through a memory health checkup.

    Personalised Memory Loss Health Test The Approach For Testing Memory Health Different lenses and different frames of reference are used when diagnosing the cause of an illness or disorder. Tests and doctor consultations are done to rule out what an illness isn’t. Your body influences the performance of your brain. There are so many things happening that it can be difficult to pinpoint which influences one over the other. It is your basic nature to group things or cluster things together.  Context, environment, and other variables drive how we look at things. It is the fault of thinking things in boxes. A more global or holistic understanding that looks at many different systems and moving parts is needed to reduce your risk for memory loss. There are likely other factors that impact memory health that we don’t know yet. Benefits Of Getting A Personalised Memory Loss Test Things are complicated when it comes to memory health.

    MHME 017: How To Make Lifestyle Habit Changes Easier So You Can Have Better Energy Today And Help Prevent Memory Loss Later with David Norris

    Good lifestyle habits lead to better memory health
    Even small changes to improve your life, building good habits, can have effects that add up to a point of... 
    Better health, better cognitive function, and a better life.
    Your choices will bear fruit. Just like my mango tree.
    Who doesn’t love mangoes? The sweet smelling fruit is just so good.
    My family’s mango tree is an old tree, about 90 years old. The tree stopped bearing fruit a few years ago. 
    It’s been neglected. Fungal growth is spreading around.
    So we pruned. We planted. We attacked the fungal growth. We made changes here and there.
    Fortunately, it wasn’t too late to do something about it.
    Then things started to get better.
    No, much better! The tree started producing so many fruits that I’ve more mangoes than I‘ve chutney jars, Thai salads and gelato boxes.
    Yum!
    Your cognitive fitness is much like the mango tree.- But don’t leave it before it’s too late
    To be at your peak, to help prevent memory loss starts with the right nurturing, personalised to your situation
    The small changes in your lifestyle really do matter.
    Our daily habits add up to a bumper crop of memory health later in life.
    Habits are powerful. You probably don’t even realise you were doing them.
    That’s because they’ve been ingrained in your life, in your routine.
    Harness that power. Imagine being armed with habits that reduce your risks for memory loss.
    You become more confident. You go into battle ready armed to live life fiercely- on your own terms. Raar!
    What an image, right? But how do you go about creating and living with those good, daily habits?
    It’s hard to consistently make good choices that stick.
    There’s a way though. A way to learn how to successfully build new habits. Six principles that will lead to new, powerful habits.
    As long as you’re resolute. As long as you’re willing to keep at it. As long as you’re willing to keep grinding.
    You have your goal, your vision. And I know you can reach it.
    It is never too late to start.
    Do you really want to deprive your community of ALL that you can be?
    In today’s show, you will learn the 6 facets of how to build successful habits. Find out also what is the most often neglected element key to habit formation.

    Building New Habits It’s Never Too Late For Change My family's 90+ year old mango tree was able to bore fruits after years of not doing so. The tree had been neglected and was experiencing some fungal growth. Support and some tending helped it to thrive again. There is still the opportunity for your body to be primed to achieve as much as possible. Poor conditions increase the likelihood of memory loss happening again. It is never too late to start correcting your illness. Changing our diet can have a dramatic impact on your gut microbiome resulting in improved health and being.  Short exercises will release endorphins and give you improved endurance and focus. Meditation can easily be used to tackle stress. Setting The Right Goals For Developing Behaviour Goals are amazing. But set it too high and you set yourself up for failure.
